we moved into same size house, but 30 years newer. we're heating 600 sq' less (have a room temporarily closed off). newer house has double pane windows, double the insulation (old place had neither). new place has hot water baseboard heat with boiler vs. forced air furnace from old place. DESPITE all of this, my heating bill is way higher. go figure??

Is water head short for Dumb a$$?
I thot i could feel my ears burning. water head is 9 letters whereas dumba$$ is 7. how do you define shorter you SF??

Waterhead??HAHAHA, they usually call us cheeseheads cuz we come across the border to buy the cheaper dairy products (in our semi-communist country, dairy is regulated by a marketing board. bad news for the the consumer, great news for the dairy farmers). so water head is a new one. maybe Scrammy came up with that cuz it mostly rained while we were down there. but scrammy, YOUR parks folks are the dummies that close off access to the dunes from the campground, during normal riding months.

BTW, at least scrammy came by for a ride and a visit. where were you guys?? we made it half way!

what's all this jabber about brokeback, and linking it to me? REMEMBER, it's you socialist CA pinko's that are responsible for this gooey-bumm movie stuff that insults every western movie that was ever made!! the blood (or some other bodily fluids) is on YOUR hands! at least Hoss woulda had some class and made it an Ewe flic! species may be wrong, but at least the gender is right.

That sounds like my dream garage. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Mornin B&RW [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] how you been?
Yesterday had to go to La La Land (actually Chatsworth, via Van Nuys) to a jobsite. What a cluster that place is. Needs a lot of work. And we're getting a piece of it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Flew down with the boss. Left the office and in less than 2 hrs we were at the jobsite. Little rough going over the mountain (Grapevine area). In the morning Hungry Valley was socked in with clouds and we were about 10-20 miles east. Return trip was right over HV, but the sun was tossing some nasty shadows and the plane doesn't have a glass bottom so didn't get much of a view. Light snow on the peaks for the most part.

Getting better at the flying thing. Just need to relax with the plane is bumping around in turbulance. Still don't like it from take-off to about 500 feet.

Why not make every room like that. Cleaning would be a breeze[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Be a bit hard on the backside sitting on metal all the time wouldn't it?

Gas went insane this year though. That could be part of it. We've been relatively lucky. Bill has been about $180 for us. March will probably be the worst month though. It got colder, instead of warmer. Freakish weather...
